Color Wheel Woman
02:50
|

She's persistent green, like a spring-time scene (color wheel woman)
Her Life shines right through, purple belt kung fu (color wheel woman)
She's a mellow yellow, yet she carries you through
emotions of cream, Salmon tang dreams
She's... midnight red, (my color wheel woman)
She... excites in bed (color wheel woman)
Spinning color wheel, coloring my world (color wheel woman)
promises unfurl, in your rainbow curls (color wheel woman)
fine Gold when you shine; lavender, lime
emotions of cream, Salmon tang dreams
She's... midnight red, (my color wheel woman)
She... excites in bed (color wheel woman)
RAP
color woman - rainbow of light
color woman - color my night
color woman - covers your aughts
fuschia choices - indigo thought
color woman - give me the sight
color woman - it'll be all right
color woman - prism from white
color woman - color me bright
Color wheel emotions that attract my devotion
a bright beaming light every day and every night
color wheel woman/color wheel woman
She's... midnight red, (my color wheel woman!)
She... excites in bed (color wheel woman!)
yeah!

I miss the ancient land I grew up in
I miss the many times we laughed, we slid in the mud,
threw boulders down the mountain ha!
was that last week or in the ancient past?
Family is mixed in with the earth
Craziness and care mixed in at birth
All my relations sowed the seeds of love
Into the red soil that became my blood
I miss them all, country-wise uncles,
Their slow speaking neighbors
the strong-willed women and their constant labors
I miss the many times we laughed
was that last week or the ancient past?
So I give my Salute to Uncle Alb
airman, farmer, teacher, father
Example of the way, model of my day
Yes, he has passed, but his song will last.

The 'experts' tell you what to believe
And yet they change their point of view like underwear
When they find that they were wrong; they gaslight us:
"trust us we are always right"
Priests of Science, and ideology,
come from the same halls of hypocrisy;
they can't explain love, or how my baby looks at me
"These remain a mystery"
Science and religion are the same,
both claim that thinking can explain
What's important in life,
but life is more than just opinions
... what's important is how I behave
"That's more important than what you believe."
Instrumental
Cause we're all linked with energy and
consciousness is more than me;
there’s more to life's meaning than looking at a gene
or just interpreting an ancient meme….
“Science without religion is lame", said Einstein
"religion without science is blind,”
yet both want you to toe the line.
(Both have their place of course, When they stop their power games )
stop their power games...
start to accept uncertainty, ....
and stop their power games .
Instrumental
Stop telling us what to believe
while you change your point of view like underwear
We need religion and science,
but we don’t want your power games.
Science and religion power games,
Both claiming only their way can explain
What's important in life
"but life is more than just opinions
and it's bigger than me!
.. what's important is how I behave
That's more important than what you believe.

Victory
03:56
|
|||
You know me, you see the tears behind the dry.
You know me, you know how hard I have to try, to get by.
Smile on this day, smile on me,
And through the dark, help me see!
That what I fight is all within me;
The struggle in my soul and body.
Lift up my faith by showing dawn will break free
Each new day I have can be simple opportunity
To love, to care, to seize,
One small victory, one day’s victory.
Consider the children, who move on harder ground to learn that friends leave and dreams die,
while darkness covers innocence, we squirm.
Smile on this day, smile on me,
And through the dark, help me see!
That what I fight is all within me;
The struggle in my soul and body.
Lift up my faith my showing dawn will break free
Each new day I have can be simple opportunity
To love, to care, to seize,
One small victory, one day’s victory.

I Sense Your Presence
02:57
|
|||
I feel you shine from stars in country skies
And in my soil sown seeds in spring
I sense your presence when the wind blows soft
And in the majesty of waves and troughs.
I love the sunlight on my face
All life grows in your warm embrace
I sense your energy in every cell
And in every breath I take as well
I feel you in all living things
In woods and forests, & animals too
I feel you in each conscious soul.
I'm in awe. In your love I'm whole.
I feel you in my meditation
And whenever I forget my self
I sense you in all inner darkness, safe and
sound I feel your health.
I sense you in my life and what comes after. ...
mmm what joy that will surely be
Thank you for all that I cannot see, music and laughter, belonging and mystery.
Your presence is all I need

Here I am, all alone in this world again,
useless proposition me and you.
All I wanted was your loving.
When I trusted: you withdrew.
I've cleared out my doubts, along the way
Didn't know what else to do, infatuation's over
I've wasted my time - that's the truth.
Time moves on, and there is nothing left to save
Time moves on, and there is nothing more to say
Time moves on..
Here I am, all alone in this world again,
but now I have a different point of view.
All I wanted was your loving.
Being strong will get me through.
Lord I'm gonna start anew
Ooohhh and fade
